PME slams unqualified weather forecasters

Arab News – An official at the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment Protection (PME) has denounced a weather analysis by two people on satellite channels, saying they were not qualified for the job.
“One of them has a degree in theology and the other holds some technical qualification. The absence of a qualification in meteorology can lead to misleading information,” the official was quoted as saying by local media on Saturday.
He said weather analyses by unqualified people is unethical and dangerous because a wrong forecast can cause confusion and panic among citizens or endanger their lives.
